CAM using UDP port 4500

[Shocko]

Guys, in my estate CAM.exe is using UDP port 4500 (listening on this socket on 0.0.0.0.). This is preventing us using Windows IPSEC as it wishes to use this socket. Looking here I don't see mention of this port:

Any ideas?

Hi

I was wondering if you can expand on this issue usually by default cam.exe uses ports 4104 UDP or 4105 TCP.

can you run camstat -a and see if cam is bound to. on my machine I see this return

CAM - xx.***.xx.xx  Version 1.14 (Build 2) up 12 days 23:28

 

it should also show open connections on cam.exe  do you see port 4500 in that list ?

please post that output and how did you determine cam.exe was using that port ?

Thanks

Joe

Also check for a CAM.CFG file in your CAM directory, which you can find using variable %cai_msq%

 

The cam.cfg file will show if there are any unusual settings, including any non-standard port assignments

Guys, found the issue. We were reporting  on this using automated parsing of the netstat -anob windows parsing. We had not fully accounted for line spacing and breaks and hence we got the port to PID parse wrong! My bad, CAM is not listening on 4500 ! Wasted thread but hanks for your input as always. I'm off to hang my head in shame somewhere
